"Then let me ask you, did you sleep with him for the sake of practicing your martial arts?"
Qingqiu suddenly spoke up: "So that's why I noticed your cultivation level had increased so much since I left last time. It's because of you and him..."
Qingqiu paused for a moment, then continued, "Did you receive a message from your master that she would become the head of the Wuxian Pavilion, and that you would inevitably have to return to the Wuxian Pavilion to take charge? If your martial arts skills are too low, you will not be able to command respect, so you took advantage of the opportunity to eat the jujube pills to cultivate with her?"
"What, do you think I did this for the sake of martial arts training?"
After listening, Wang Yingqiu smiled sadly.
"When I first met him, he had absolutely no martial arts skills. If I really wanted to learn martial arts, I wouldn't have sought him out, would I?"
Qingqiu stood there without saying a word, seemingly realizing that her question was full of flaws.
"If you think I'm with him just to practice martial arts, then I'm willing to cripple my martial arts and leave my sect—I'm willing to do anything to be with him!"
Perhaps because she had been separated from Jing Zhe for too long these past few days, or perhaps because she was afraid that her master Mu Qingren had said something to Jing Zhe and that he might misunderstand, Wang Yingqiu raised her head and made the most affectionate confession at this moment.
After hearing this, Jing Zhe no longer cared about Qingqiu and went over to grab Wang Yingqiu's hand to comfort her—what kind of man would he be if he didn't cherish his own woman?
As Qingqiu watched this scene, and recalled Wang Yingqiu's bold and resolute monologue just now, she fell into deep thought.
...
Actually, Qingqiu was troubled and preoccupied ever since she got back last night, and she couldn't sleep all night.
Before yesterday, Jing Zhe held a unique place in her heart; after yesterday, Jing Zhe remains unique in her heart.
However, the two unique characteristics are vastly different.
She spent the entire night trying to balance it, but to no avail.
Therefore, she felt a sense of unease and confusion, and her attitude towards Wang Yingqiu was a reflection of her inner anxiety.
As for what Wang Yingqiu said, that she really had a relationship with Jing Zhe, is there a problem with that?
It should be fine.
Is her anger really because her best friend secretly slept with her younger brother?
Or did she steal it from me...?
Thinking about this, Qingqiu blushed and suddenly didn't know how to get angry.
She clearly didn't arrive earlier than her—whether it was more than ten years ago or their reunion at Qingyun Taoist Temple more than ten years later, she always arrived later than her!
Why did it happen before it happened to me?
After venting her frustrations, Wang Yingqiu suddenly found herself in an awkward situation: this was her best friend, her husband's older sister, and her future sister-in-law...
How can it be so noisy?
So, the two women who were just arguing fiercely now stood there obediently, their hands clasped together, their heads hanging down, looking rather cute and funny with their restlessness.
...
Jing Zhe glanced at Qingqiu, then at Wang Yingqiu, and a smile crept onto his face.
He dared not, and could not, leave the field at that moment, because leaving the field then could easily lead to his death if he was not careful.
And now, he feels it's the perfect opportunity for him to step in!
I think…
"Shut up!"
He had barely opened his mouth when he was stopped by two furious women. Perhaps, in their eyes, he was the culprit who caused all this trouble between the two women who were like sisters. How could they not be angry when they heard him speak so casually?
"..."
Jing Zhe gave a wry smile and truly stopped talking, because a real man doesn't use words at this moment, but takes action!
So he took Wang Yingqiu's hand and walked forward, reaching out his hand to Qingqiu, but she dodged it.
Jing Zhe seized the opportunity and struck again with lightning speed, grabbing her and dragging the two of them to the bedside. He pressed them both down to sit, and then sat between them.
He reached out with one hand to embrace Wang Yingqiu's waist, and after thinking for a moment, he reached out with the other hand to embrace Qingqiu's slender waist as well.
This is the best opportunity. If he doesn't seize it, given Qingqiu's aloof nature, he doesn't know when he will be able to hold her in his arms again!
Wang Yingqiu was alright; after all, she was Jing Zhe's woman, and he had done things far worse than hugging her multiple times, so he let her hug him.
But Qingqiu was different. When Jing Zhe's hand touched her waist, she trembled and stared at Jing Zhe.
Jing Zhe pretended to be stupid and didn't look at her.
Instead, he took advantage of the situation, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist and suddenly tightening his grip. Qingqiu let out a soft moan, exhausted, and leaned against his chest.
Just as she was about to get up and move away, she heard Jing Zhe say, "You two are the closest people to me in this world..."
The closest person...
Upon hearing this, Qingqiu's strength, which she had just mustered, suddenly deflated, and she stopped moving.
She kept comforting herself, "He's Zhe'er! My most beloved younger brother, it's okay to let him hug me!"
Seeing that the two of them had become much more obedient, Jing Zhe was very satisfied and said with a smile, "You two are the closest people to me. It hurts me to see you two arguing!"
He squeezed Wang Yingqiu's hand tightly and said, "The garden owner is my woman. She was, she is, and she will always be. No one can separate us."
These words were actually meant to comfort Wang Yingqiu, since she had been kept by Mu Qingren's side these past few days, and Mu Qingren would have had a hard time letting her out if Qingqiu hadn't come looking for her.
Wang Yingqiu was also very uneasy, wondering what Jing Zhe was thinking. After hearing these words, she finally felt relieved and leaned her head on Jing Zhe's shoulder.
Seeing this, Jing Zhe said to Qingqiu, "Third Sister, you are also the closest person to me in this world. This closeness is etched into my bones. Even though we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and we wouldn't recognize each other when we met again, I still felt inexplicably warm when I saw you at Qingyun Taoist Temple, and I became more talkative..."
Qingqiu fell into deep thought.
This is a knot in her heart.
After learning Jing Zhe's true identity, she was puzzled as to why she had such a unique feeling for a stranger without knowing that Jing Zhe was her brother.
Now, after hearing Jing Zhe's explanation, she suddenly understood: it was because he was her younger brother! So there was an innate sense of closeness, even before she knew his identity, she still felt inexplicably close…
Thinking about it this way, the knot in my heart slowly untied...
Holding Qingqiu in his arms, Jing Zhe could clearly feel her body soften and relax. He was delighted and continued, "You and the garden owner used to be such good friends. It would be my unhappiness if I were to fall out with my best friend because of you."
Then he took both of their hands out, folded them together in front of him, and said with a smile, "You two make up!"
"..."
